Congrats on your new vehicle.

Just out of interest when did your order go in? Be interested in what lead times are looking like.

Our order was placed towards the end of November, interestingly one of the sales chaps actually placed an order very early on which was going to be used by one the managers better half, they gave that build slot to me as apparently customers take priority!

It looks like our cars are likely making the first shipment of customer cars to the UK from what I gather!

Interesting... I'd normally say perhaps the spec has something to do with build slots, but there's really not much to change here! It's a shame there's no way of tracking individual builds, I believe it was possible to do so in the past!

The first batch that will arrive in the U.K. are all First Edition spec, is I guess that each dealer has a certain number allocated to them and 5hat they simply work down the list using first come, first served.

It is in Volvos interest to get the XC40 out on the roads ASAP. No better advertisement for a car than seeing one in the flesh driven by a happy owner!

I'd seen that too, but understand that it was a bit flakey at the best. Some people reporting that the first update happened weeks after they had actually received the vehicle. If you sign into Volvo ID you'll see a notice that this tracking feature has been pulled and is being "redeveloped".
